ipfs-blob-store

Install

npm install ipfs-blob-store

Usage

ipfs-blob-store uses the IPFS Files API to create the abstraction of a mutable filesystem over snapshots of Merkle DAGs (per mutation). You'll need to use the Files API directly to get the /ipfs/Qm... address of the filesystem root so that other IPFS nodes can retrieve it.

It requires an IPFS node to run - you can either specify a host/port combination to connect to a remote daemon, pass an instance of ipfs or nothing at all to have the blob store manage it's own IPFS node.
